Thanks, lierduh - we'll see if it works.

Even more bizarre, the script works fine if I run it manually in *any* browser - including lynx. It also works as a vBulletin cron job.

Replying to my own post...

Nope - that didn't work. I'm still getting the 'headers already sent' thingie. The weird thing is it used to work fine - but I'm experiencing some vB3 weirdness. Inline attachments and thumbnails quit working about the same time. I've been working with vB on this. For now, running the thing as a vB3 cron job appears to be working but wouldn't be my first choice ;)

I'm getting double posts..Its one of the reasons I scratched it and started over in the first place--not doing that again though. :D

Has this been adapted to work with the vb# prefix codes yet ?

Joey, that's not vBprefix, that error's telling you the 'nntp_settings' table isn't present in your database - and it's kinda critical.

I'm at the office and my server's at home, but I believe the gateway requires three tables added to your forum database - and at least one of them doesn't exist.

Hope this helps -

lierduh, I know your vb3 version on page 44 is a work in progress, but I've identitied a couple problems with the 'quote' function that I have no idea how to fix since all I do is install this stuff, not write it ;)

First, the whole 'Originally posted by' line doesn't work and I don't know why. I know you wanted to change the text to "xxx wrote:" but that doesn't work either.

The routine does put *two* > characters at the head of the quote with a random character between them (I've seen 'e' and an apostrophe) but the quoted person's name is missing from the post.

I'm gonna play with this some tomorrow but I think I'm way out of my league.

One more question - I use "{1} said..." instead of the default. Can you help me a little if you have time?

Heres the error im getting when running gateway.php (using gateway file from pg.44)

---------------------------------------------------------
1 group(s) gatewayed. Logging in to news.XXXXXXXXXXX.com, group control.XXXXxXX

EDIT: Thanks for the reply i did miss a step in nntp.sql

Everything seems to be working good now. :)

This means you do not have the "isusenetpost" field in your "post" table. You might like to make sure the nntp.sql (? comes with the original file) is run.

I will have a look.

FYI this has been working flawless on RC2 afraid to upgrade to RC3 :D
